Starting with a few stitches, the Heathered Stash Shawl grows into an asymmetrical triangle. The directions are fully written, row by row.
This shawl/wrap is knitted with a thread of a marble yarn of your choice and a thread of a one-colour yarn held together. In the file attached I provide a colour palette just for you to see the yarns I used, and its combinations.
For this garment I only used the stash I had from previous projects, and made the combinations randomly as the project advanced. There was no previous planning for this project, because I love to see how the unplanned combinations of yarns works, and the outcome never ceases to amaze me.
You are thoroughly encouraged to use your yarn stash for this project.*

Empezando con apenas 5 puntos, Heathered Stash Shawl aumenta hasta convertirse en un triángulo asimétrico de dimensiones considerables.
Este shawl se teje con 2 hebras juntas: 1 de hilado matizado y 1 de hilado de un solo color. A los solos efectos informativos, en archivo separado se adjunta una tabla (Colour Palette) conteniendo fotos de los hilados indicados y sus combinaciones.
Para la confección de esta prenda se utilizaron únicamente hilados que sobraron de otros proyectos, y se fueron combinando a medida que el mismo avanzaba. No se planificó paleta de colores a seguir ya que la idea era ver como quedaban las combinaciones de los hilados realizadas al azar.
Es importante recalcar que para la realización de este tejido no se compraron hilados, sino que se utilizaron los restos de otros proyectos ya terminados y cuyo uso individual era insuficiente para confeccionar una prenda única.
Usen sus reservas de hilados!! Es una forma de reciclar y de crear prendas únicas.
